The reason why scramblers are so popular now is not because it's a scrambler, but because manufacturers is aiming for the retro look with their motorcycles and it looks good.
This one deserves more views, loved it. Personally I think that modern dual sports like the Husqvarna 701 and DRZ400 are way more of a spiritual successor to the original scramblers. But that's just me 🤷♂️
Let me clarify.... Dual sport/Enduro are off road bikes that can go on road, a Scrambler is an on road bike that can go off road.... DS/E are best off road, and Scramblers best on road
Textbook definition, well done. Simplest visual learning aid: Adventure Bike vs Modern Retro. The real magic is in the frame/suspension rather than the powerplant and rubber.
A super sport was the knobbies seems to fit your description but I don't think it's a scrambler. I think a better definition would be "a cruiser that you take off-road with the mods that help make it happen."
My grandpa raced scramblers in Czekoslovakia in the early 60s he was pretty good at it too! I’m sure if he was still here we would be riding together C:
Remember that the first scramblers (and Cafe-Racers) were not produced by companies, but modified road bikes. In WWII Motorcycle messengers took hardtail bikes off road, like Harley WLA or BSA M20. What I see in a scrambler like the modern Triumph or Ducati is a bike you can travel on, clock up some serious miles on road, and don't have to be afraid of a stretch of gravel road or worse. They would be too heavy for the scottish six days. Like an adventure bike, but with style.
I think you have a great point my friend: “first scramblers (and Cafe-Racers) were not produced by companies, but modified road bikes” -- I think you have a solid point worth considering.
I have been watching these Scrambler reviews a long time and almost all of them say that Scramblers can’t off-road good but after buying one and trying it myself I would argue that they do almost as well as a dirt bike but that might be because I have been riding almost all my life off road. All in all any motorcycle can do almost anything if the right rider is on it.
@@thomascook2418 Thomas what part of the UK are you from. I am from London and looking to go on a trip around the UK on my bike with a friend. if you want to come let me know we are picking up people.
I could see the use of a modern scrambler, I feel like adv, enduros, dirt bikes and so on, are all in the same category but on different scales, I mean: Pure offroad? dirt bikes Long trips on road and offroad? ADV bikes Short trips mosly offroad but need it to be road legal? Enduro Long trips mostly offroad? Rally raid Medium distances mostly on road but with some offroad? I think the modern scrambler could fit right here, mostly a "regular" road bike with some offroad capability. You might argue that there is a big "poser factor" in the scrambler buyer, but isn't there a little of "poser factor" in everey motorcycle category? I am sure you have met the BMW GS guy with full metal panniers that has never seen a bit of dirt in his entire life and I am sure you have met the full dainese suit super sport guy with tyres with chicken strips as big as his brand new puck sliders
I made my own "scrambler" from a lightweight street bike. She is not as good as a Dual sport off roading but for sure makes the job done. And is a LOT of FUN!!!
When I was looking at buying my first bike I started in the scrambler section because they looked cool and I was enticed by the idea that they could be good off road. I quickly discovered that a lot of the modern scrambler market is very fashion over function. If you want a bike for hopping around an urban area that has a lot of curb appeal, the scrambler/cafe racer section may be a nice option. For me I wanted a bike I could feel comfortable putting on dirt roads that was comfortable enough to take longer distances, simple, reliable, and easy to maintain. For those reasons I ended up going with a KLR 650. I'm not a speed freak and the simplicity and durability of the KLR was what ended up winning me over. ADV bikes are not the prettiest, so you might not get the barista's phone number, but you're also a little less likely to have your bike stolen. If your goal is really going off road and don't care about fashion, dual sports are definitely the way to go. Don't be dissuaded by the fashion over function argument though; just be honest with yourself. Attractive bikes are popular for a reason and if aesthetics matter to you don't feel bad about getting something that looks good. On the same note, if off road functionality is more important try not to get lured into a bike that looks good, but struggles in the dirt. You'll have more fun riding something that you aren't afraid to drop!
Hey yam, first time commenter. I can speak to the Ducati scrambler. I take it off road, camp with it, and do 12 hours long rides (with breaks for beer and food) without any issues. It's an amazing experience bike, extremely reliable. Only downside is it eats clutches every 10k miles. :(
Being as old as I am, I remember going to watch (as a boy) scrambler races back in the sixties. I would laugh my socks off watching someone on one of these modern scramblers on the same track. Picking one up after you fell off, standing in pouring rain, slimy wet clay underfoot, on a slope with water pouring down it. Yeah, right. No way. They are way too heavy. The dirt bike is the true scrambler.
Nice to see Preston Cobb for a second with Greeves works riders testing the first 360 cc Griffon. My first bike at 13 was a 1966 Greeves Challenger.50 pounds in 1973.
A scrambler was a naked street standard that was modified to better travel in the dirt. It was often stripped to the bare essentials, and modified with tall bars, high exhaust, and knobbier tires. A skid plate was also a smart addition. The modern scramblers can be made much more dirtworthy, usually by stripping weight and changing tires. Suspension upgrades also help. An enduro is basically a dirtbike with lights, although some also have the road-legal equipment of mirrors and horn. A modern dualsport adds mirrors, horn, and usually some more road amenities...like a cush-hub rear wheel, vibe-reduction features, passenger accomodations, an odometer/trip, and a wider overall gearspread. Adv bikes typically add range and comfort features, often for a passenger too, like a fairing, more cylinders for power/smoothness, fuel range, payload capacity, and electrical charging capacity. They're long-range dirt-capable touring bikes, designed to slab across a continent, then tackle challenging dirt roads, with the focus being on long-range slab capability, whereas dualsports are usually less focused on long-range slabbing, and more on shorter and/or slower pavement runs to retain more dirt ability by being lighter, more agile, more durable, and easier to fieldfix.
Without knowing it, I succumbed to the scrambler craze in the mid 60s in Japan. Bought a Honda CL 77 305 at a bike shop outside Yokota AB. Had a great time with it. It was my first bike.
Modern scramblers are close but not the classic minimal tough package the used to be . personally I own a Enduro bike and it's essentially similar to a scrambler except more tuned for offroad but I enjoy it
As rider, racer for almost 50 years I've ridden almost everything from Hodaka Super Rats to Kawasaki Zx1400Rs. Raced motocross before monoshocks, road raced when push starts were normal, drag raced when Kawasaki two strokes we're king. I said all that to say I find the new Scramblers are capable being ridden just about anywhere providing you take your time, your in shape and have some riding skills. Most bikes are limited mostly by their riders at least in my experience.
I've got a 1969 Triumph T100C that I love dearly. It'll run with the Daytona's up until the last bit of the top end, and is actually a little quicker than they are off the line and I don't have to worry about keeping carbs synced. Comfortable on the street and back when I first got it you hardly ever saw them.
for the past 6 months i dream having a ducati scrambler classic with brown leather seat and some hipster ish cafe racer outfit just so i can feel the riding feeling that lord yam da NOOB has listed in the past. a a 90s kid on a bike that finally after years that hes parents didnt want him to have a bike starting to ride :)
I feel like modern scramblers (and neo cafe racers) are just retro styled standards with high exhausts. Not that I'm complaining about that fact at all. I love the look of them.
Scrambler is more of a marketing term these days, but I think the traditional definition is: Scrambler: a street bike that is adapted for riding off-road. Dual-Sport: a dirt bike that is adapted to riding on the street. That On Two Wheels scrambler comparo is the benchmark for quality moto content.
Nice video. I was born in 94 and love my Ducati Desert Sled. Yes they are not the same as the originals were but what is. Everything needs to change eventually. Cafe racers have higher bars than they were remembered for but that wouldn’t sell anymore. I use mine off-road. It’s not half bad either 👌
Dear Flappy Tube, this year I bought my first bike, a cheap but new 125cc scrambler. It is fairly gutless on the motorway and I shit my pants getting overtaken by HGVs. On Dartmoor where I live however, it is something else, allowing me to tear over the winding roads and rough moorland alike at respectable speeds. Besides that I get many comments on the great look of the bike, so I would argue that it is a legitimate scrambler through and through.
I’m currently building a different type of scrambler, people like converting the old street bikes into scramblers (cbs, bmws) but I’m actually taking a Honda xr250, and converting this dirt bike into a scrambler. It’s the opposite of the classic scramblers, but I feel more true to the idea than any currently produced “scrambler”
this was a piece about a type of makeshift motorcycles that making a comeback, and somehow it turns into a philosophical piece about originality vs transformative.
A scrambler is basically what a cafe racer would be, if you ever expect to at some point find yourself trying to cross a beach or field etc and need your bike to be able to cope with the terrain - after which you continue on the paved road. Nothing more, nothing less. There you go, one line. No reason to argue any details beyond this :)
I can see more point to cafe racers than over-weight scramblers that are hard to pick up if they get dropped. Dropping them must happen often when off road. Cafe racers are like sports cars on the road. More streamlined, a bit uncomfortable, but to the purpose of going and handling that bit better than less purposeful vehicles. Scramblers look like hard to pick up and handle dirt bikes. If off road you'd be better off with a lighter dirt bike.
Just bought a 2020 Scrambler Icon and love it whatever the purists think. It's a great all-round urban machine with excellent capabilities for fun outings on twisties. Fast enough for most situations but obviously not meant to ride at 120km/h on the motorway for hours. Horses for courses and for Paris and it's surroundings, I can't think of a better motorcycle. Although if I had a bigger garage, I could probably add another 5 different bikes just for variety.
Agreed. This is maybe the first true production scrambler, even if that's sort of an oxymoron. The world has changed, and Ducati and Triumph are filling the actual needs of buyers. No shame in having a scrambler-looking Icon or Street. Where I live, the streets require something a bit tougher, but I don't want a true off-roader. Adventure bikes are the new scramblers, and the new scramblers are really naked adventure bikes. I just rode the Triumph Tiger (on an actual adventure) and the 1200 XC. The XC is so much nicer for the real world, and I'd happily take it into the dirt. Just because it came from the factory doing the job of a scrambler doesn't mean it's not a scrambler.
@@tobparker too much heavy too much expensive ... sorry but no. Its just marketing bike. There are lighter bikes for less with much more off road perspective
@@romanko1010 Sure there are lighter, less expensive bikes that are better for the dirt. They're called enduros or dirt bikes. Expensive is in the eye of the buyer, and so is heavy. To each his own.
THEY'RE GREAT BEAUSE THEY ARE DO IT ALL BIKES....I MADE MINE FROM A CB250 AND NOW IT HAS A 300 ENGINE AND IT IS A GREAT FUN LITTLE BIKE THAT I CAN TAKE IT TO THE STREET, MUD, FIREROADS AN FOR COMMUTING IN A VERY COOL MANNER.
@8:09 That means modern scramblers aren't actually scramblers because they lack offroad capabilities. That is their unique destinction from cafe racers.
We still have to be thankful that motorcycle manufacturers still make new bikes that looks like their older counterparts. Car manufacturers just use the same name while the cars dont even look the same anymore
Going to watch later but I want a scrambler to be my first vehicle for college and hopefully keep it long enough to move to Mexico with. I already have an ATV but I want a two wheeler, probably a Ducati Sixty2. I know little to nothing about bikes but I still love em
xD it reminds me somewhat of how I took my 1995 XJ600 offroading a few times (it got stollen in the woods by a crackhed, I now have a 1992 XJ600, and im getting a tracker for it lol)
I am new to this channel and while I enjoyed the video I was a tad disappointed/surprised that the enduro was never mentioned. I mean that the enduro was basically a street legal dirt bike. Fond memories.
Scramblers bikes are a trend in my country where classic bike groups build their bikes scrambler, yes the form is there but they all look the same. Haha!
Love your use of Chopin’s epic third etude and many other piano pieces in your videos. Greetings from native Austinite and classical pianist on a Triumph Speed Four!
If you want to do touring with little off-road capability then you go for adv, if you want to do more off-road and little on-road then you go for enduro, and if you just want a bike for its looks then go for scrambler 😊
A scrambler is a bike used to race scrambles. A cafe race is a street build that mimics an Isle of man TT racer and is used for street races. The modern variants are for that or are retro styled standard bikes for people that want a look. They are the vinyl perfecto jacket of motorcycles. If you like it rock it scrambler, sumo, race replica, hand build chopper, factory custom just ride your ride and don't over think it. Cool vid though I like the moto history and funny lists. The channel feels more like a podcast than a standard guy riding around babbling on vlog.
Yo papa yam, i guess the real meaning of scrambler is like that egg you cooked this morning, its just a mix of everything, dual-sport or off-road riding offered in a EASY, and Gentle way to approach.
A scrambler is the motorcycle equivalent of a cross-bike and if you drop it, a strategically placed kick should be able to straighten out any misalignment.
@shadrock99 They'd probably do that if there were more demand for bikes like the TW200. I mean, I only found out about it last week. Strange that they've been making them since 1990...
My goal right now is get a Triumph street scrambler and give it a couple mods like some better suspension and knobby tires. Other mods that will bring it more to “real” scrambler status with better off-roading ability.
Other than having to find the right parts and do the labor, is there a benefit to buying a stock scrambler vs buying a dual sport and putting some retro-looking after market stuff like a bigger tank, round headlight, and wider leather seat? And taking off fairings? Seems like it would be nice to have that dual sport value to performance ratio with the looks of a scrambler.
I actually want a triumph scrambler for doing offroad and having a machine that allows me to go from UK to Italy with the same bike... It seems to be the right bike to do so.
I use to take my zx11 out for some dirt. Though I could only manage dirt roads with its low ground clearance lol. But there was something magical about the 200 foot rooster tail.

A scrambler was a naked street standard that was modified to better travel in the dirt. It was often stripped to the bare essentials, and modified with tall bars, high exhaust, and knobbier tires.

in the 60s harley had the 250 cc scrambler and the 100cc rapido ..they were a lot of fun in the dirt and mud..talking from my own experience
Going to watch later but I want a scrambler to be my first vehicle for college and hopefully keep it long enough to move to Mexico with. I already have an ATV but I want a two wheeler, probably a Ducati Sixty2. I know little to nothing about bikes but I still love em
xD it reminds me somewhat of how I took my 1995 XJ600 offroading a few times (it got stollen in the woods by a crackhed, I now have a 1992 XJ600, and im getting a tracker for it lol)
Yammi i love ur Content and the bike project you are working on... keep it up... love from Germany
man i find love in bike with scramblers with the bmw R nineT
Wow! very educative. Thank you for the video!
Slammie Boob, you are the best. Seriously, can the other moto vloggers just shut down their channels already?
Yammie does sponsorships right by putting them at the end of the video, instead of forcing it in and interrupting the content.
You’re killing it dude! I watch every single video
I think Lemmy said it best - modern scramblers are best described as naked ADV bikes.
The BMW R nineT Scrambler is the best looking BMW bike, and the best looking scrambler. Amazing ergonomics, too.
Well, ""scrambler.""
Thanks for another great vid, Yam!
I am new to this channel and while I enjoyed the video I was a tad disappointed/surprised that the enduro was never mentioned. I mean that the enduro was basically a street legal dirt bike.
Fond memories.
Scramblers bikes are a trend in my country where classic bike groups build their bikes scrambler, yes the form is there but they all look the same. Haha!
Thanks for the video, I saw a scrambler on the street and I needed to know the name so thank you so much
Love your use of Chopin’s epic third etude and many other piano pieces in your videos.
Greetings from native Austinite and classical pianist on a Triumph Speed Four!
Yammie, you never seem to disappoint us. Great video!
Heard of Janus bikes??? They make a scrambler....Great vid !!!
Hey 0:40 its the bike show, much love from South Africa.
Thank you chubby cube. This is a great video.
Ride what makes you happy!!!
If you want to do touring with little off-road capability then you go for adv, if you want to do more off-road and little on-road then you go for enduro, and if you just want a bike for its looks then go for scrambler 😊
Nice Yam, really enjoyed this vid. Great old & new footage, these bikes look like they'd be a blast to ride!
A scrambler is a bike used to race scrambles. A cafe race is a street build that mimics an Isle of man TT racer and is used for street races. The modern variants are for that or are retro styled standard bikes for people that want a look. They are the vinyl perfecto jacket of motorcycles. If you like it rock it scrambler, sumo, race replica, hand build chopper, factory custom just ride your ride and don't over think it. Cool vid though I like the moto history and funny lists. The channel feels more like a podcast than a standard guy riding around babbling on vlog.
Papa yams is the best on the list
Love your vids bro greetings from south africa
Awesome content Yam!
Yo papa yam, i guess the real meaning of scrambler is like that egg you cooked this morning, its just a mix of everything, dual-sport or off-road riding offered in a EASY, and Gentle way to approach.
hey yammster Watching this instead of studying please stop me i have a test tommorow
I'm buying a 1200 XC Triumph soon 😎
A scrambler is the motorcycle equivalent of a cross-bike and if you drop it, a strategically placed kick should be able to straighten out any misalignment.
I love watching these vids the Yam gives out the big facts
Good work Yammie.
In a way, Yamaha makes the only true scrambler in the form of the TW200. Though, it takes twenty seconds to reach 70mph.
Scowler Just watched a video of one and goddamn it's slow
@shadrock99
They'd probably do that if there were more demand for bikes like the TW200. I mean, I only found out about it last week. Strange that they've been making them since 1990...
@@kasper5688
73mpg, though.
@shadrock99 Nah just throw the MT07 engine in it and call it a day :D
Scowler hp over mpg
Your content is high quality, I mucho enjoy it. New sub👋🏽
I own a Triumph Street Scrambler, a bit heavy, but legit in soft sand and mountain roads.
Will Teuscher I'll think desert sled is better
New drinking game. Every time 'Yammie Noob' says "sweet"....
The triumph scrambler 1200 might be a legit scrambler and I can't wait for it when it comes out.
3rd in the week !!!!! Shammmyyyyy pube at itttttttt !!!! Hentai loverrrr
Yammie Noob you mere mortal!

My goal right now is get a Triumph street scrambler and give it a couple mods like some better suspension and knobby tires. Other mods that will bring it more to “real” scrambler status with better off-roading ability.
Other than having to find the right parts and do the labor, is there a benefit to buying a stock scrambler vs buying a dual sport and putting some retro-looking after market stuff like a bigger tank, round headlight, and wider leather seat? And taking off fairings? Seems like it would be nice to have that dual sport value to performance ratio with the looks of a scrambler.
I actually want a triumph scrambler for doing offroad and having a machine that allows me to go from UK to Italy with the same bike... It seems to be the right bike to do so.
I mean. People crossed deserts on Superbike and benelli TNT. But I think something like a ktm or BMW gs. Is clearly better suited for offroad
coolest intro ever
Love me some scrambler aesthetics
Really enjoying your content love from Denmark!
Scrambler is also a surprisingly good city commuter :)
With the high exhaust pipe hitting the inner thigh ? I can think of better city commuters.
*ON ANY SUNDAY*
I use to take my zx11 out for some dirt. Though I could only manage dirt roads with its low ground clearance lol. But there was something magical about the 200 foot rooster tail.
